Building the World's Fastest Roomba

I built the world’s fastest Roomba! After finding that the few fast Roombas online weren't exactly the real deal, I decided to build my own. @Make Cool Stuff did build the real deal and that was the benchmark that I set out to beat. I used a 10 year old iRobot Roomba 630 and added some high tech motors, electronics and radio control gear to bring it all to life. I CAD designed and 3D printed parts in @3Dfillies PLA and PETG to fit all of the gear to the Roomba. It turned out to be a handful to drive, but very fast and a lot of fun.

You definitely need suspension to keep the wheels on the ground. Rebound is very important in a drive layout like this because of one wheel has even slightly more traction it careens out of control. You want the wheels to hit small bumps and immediately spring back down into the road. Suspension isn’t just about a smooth ride, rebound is arguably more important!

I would probably attempt on instead of that build in servo the adjust the angle of the wheel based on gyro values as kinda thrust vectoring in a plane steering type of thing, but it should be lightning fast to response and have more weight on the wheel, so it can self correct chance of direction when no input is given and maybe adjust those steering values based on its speed so it steers less in higher speeds.

I agree with Maker-Mindset, a suspension system of some sort should help with the impact problems.

It would need to be as close as possible to the centerline of the Roomba, and would take some tuning to get it working right.

Some form of a suspension system can help a lot with the harmonic bouncing that is likely the culprit in breaking the wheels. Also, i think with this design i would implement spherical tires as method to prevent the wheelie. These dont force the roomba foreward like a cylindrical wheel does. I'd also make sure that the chambers that these spherical wheels are placed in have suspension too.

@luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuul Жыл бұрын

Really impressive job m8! Some thoughts that may help you develop it! You're dealing with high speeds, considering the project size. So, if you want to go faster, you should try to add some weight to it. That will provide more grip to the rubber wheels. Or (but I don't think it's worth because again, the project size is small) try to improve down force or reduce air resistance as much as possible. Also, the wheels. Try using a softer material, that is shaped like a proper rubber tire, hollow inside. The rubber tire plays a big part of the suspension system in modern vehicles, and considering that you're using electric motors, that transmit power and accelerate without delay at all, a subtle force is transmitted directly to the wheels, that may or may not be too of a suddenly for stiff rubber... Thats why top dragsters have soft tires... so, it's a good ideia to avoid losing grip. Another important thing is that the project doesn't have any kind of shock absorbers, like suspensions or dumpers. So what happens is that all the reaction forces that hit the wheels are directly transmitted to the chassi itself... And considering that you added a lot of 3d printe parts, all this undamped energy will damage these 3d printed parts. That being said, adding a suspension and the arms mechanism will definitely raise the overall height of the project, something that we don't want... For this reason you should also redesign the power train itself. The current system connect the motor to a planetary gearbox set and a wheel, all in the same line/plane. Keep the current location of the motors and the misalignment created by the new suspension mechanism and the wheels can be corrected using a dual universal joint. Kinda like in this image: images.app.goo.gl/wdp5oSmsmAtZTY15A Also, if you're ideia is literally "make the fastest vacuum cleaner robot of all time" because fuck it, let's put this thing in the Guinness world records because YES, power delivery should skyrocket m8... Drain the batteries in seconds if possible, delivering the maximum energy possible to the engines for the maximum nominal RPM possible (before the motor blows itself)... Keep going!

I built a combat robot with a similar shape and speed to what you are using (scaled down). One thing that really helped with handling was adding in a heading control. I used a micro drone flight control board that had an onboard gyroscope. I wrote some simple software to read the amount of yaw commanded by the RC receiver and compare that to the amount of yaw measured by the gyroscope, and with a basic PID controller, adjust the difference in power to the left and right wheels to try to keep the measured yaw equal to the commanded yaw. It worked great for high speed attacks on uneven surfaces with an imperfect chassis. Another thing that might help is torque control. By limiting how quickly the power to the motors can rise, you limit the amount of torque supplied to the wheels, avoiding slip that would cause you to lose control. This also limits your rate of acceleration, but you're aiming for top speed, not a quarter mile time.
